Hi Guys
would really appreciate some info regarding this tuner? how is their reputation for tuning? To be honest, i want to go for Bamford, however between being in Central London and BR being so busy i am kind of inclined to explore other options. Your inputs appreciated.

Never heard of them!

looking at the web site the exhausts are just the standard Quicksilver ones
They talk about 5 generic stages of tuning but offer no real detail on specs or gains
Oh and they offer an electric Hummer laugh

Looks to me like they are speculating

Surely a quick peek at their website tells you all you need to know. Maybe a look at them on duedil?

I've never heard of them and the pictures they us for the work they do on Astons is just stock photo footage from AML brochure/press releases. Wouldn't fill me with confidence.

Duedil is a really poor website with outdated information.

Our company information is over 4 years out of date, despite all other financial websites showing accurate details.

Please don't ever make a buying decision based on this Company nono

isnt this a UK based forum? A lot of folks here based in london i assume so it would be a surprise that no one has ever used them. type in Aston Martin tuning and their website comes up top 3.
maybe it is a scam...

Been on this forum for 4 + years and don't ever remember anyone posting up about having used them. Working in London I looked at the address they list on their website - its their registered office not where they work from. Registered office I would assume is their lawyers based on the address. Nothing wrong with the registered office being the company lawyers / accountants but find it strange they don't show where they are actually based.

I live in that big London too. Not that unbeleiveable if:

a) they don't really exist exceopt asd an idea or concept
b) no-one has ever used them because they don't really exist and therefore have never tuned any Astons

Sadly you can make any claims you like, but only one company who works on the Gaydon Aston road cars has the large satisfied customer base, tens of thousands of development miles and dyno plots for all the options available. And you mentioned them in your original post smile

Truska Angel is named as the CEO of Prindiville Design in their blog. Her cv isn't typical of a car design and tuning executive but she is attributed to the design of an electric Hummer. wink

It offers plenty of information for free. Certainly most things I look at appear up to date. I checked our own entry and it changed a few days after we filed.

I generally just use it out of curiosity.

Clown car. I expect you have to wear a spinning bow tie to drive that thing and squirt passers by with a big plastic flower. Honk Honk!!!
